Donald Trump, the former US president, is present at UFC 290, further solidifying his reputation as the fight president.

Trump has made previous appearances at UFC events, including UFC 264 and UFC 287. He has even provided fight commentary, taking the microphone during Vitor Belfort’s dominant victory over Evander Holyfield.

Tonight, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Trump is attending as a spectator. As the pay-per-view portion of UFC 290 began, cameras captured Trump being escorted to his VIP seats by Dana White himself.

It is expected that he will enjoy the upcoming championship bouts featuring Yair Rodriguez and Brandon Moreno.

It seems that Trump is having a great time so far. At one point, Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier temporarily stepped away from their commentary duties to converse with Trump when he approached them.

There were already speculations that Donald Trump might show up at UFC 290, and video footage from SteveWillDoIt, a close friend of Dana White and a popular YouTube influencer, confirmed that Trump was indeed in Vegas spending time with White.

However, it should be noted that Trump’s attendance at the event is not merely for show. Dana White has verified that Trump is a passionate fan who frequently calls him to discuss recent fights.

“So this guy calls me twice a month and will talk to me for an hour about fights that have happened since we last talked,” White said back in April. “And he knows everybody. He knows what they did and who they fought last. He’s a huge fight fan. Loves this stuff.”

COP28: Global effort to phase out fossil fuels

Published

on

World leaders at COP28 have intensified their commitment to combat climate change by embarking on a bold initiative to phase out fossil fuels.

The United Nations climate talks, held in a virtual format due to ongoing pandemic concerns, saw representatives from nearly 200 countries coming together to address the urgent need for action on the climate crisis.

The decision to focus on ending fossil fuel use marks a significant departure from previous climate negotiations.

Countries have traditionally grappled with setting emissions reduction targets, but this year’s conference places a strong emphasis on the need to transition away from the reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas. Experts argue that this shift is critical to limiting global temperature rise and avoiding the most catastrophic effects of climate change.

Key highlights of the COP28 agreement include setting ambitious deadlines for phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, promoting renewable energy sources, and encouraging the development of green technologies.

The conference also established a fund to support developing nations in their transition away from fossil fuels, recognizing that these countries often face the greatest challenges in achieving sustainability.

Published

The UK government has decided to put a hold on the proposed acquisition of The Telegraph newspaper by media mogul Jeff Zucker’s conglomerate.

According to a recent report, this decision has been made in order to conduct further investigations into potential regulatory concerns surrounding the deal.

The move comes amidst growing concerns over media consolidation and its impact on media diversity and competition.

The government aims to ensure that the acquisition would not result in a concentration of media power that could potentially stifle independent journalism and diverse voices in the industry.

This decision has sparked debates about the balance between media ownership and the preservation of media plurality in the UK. Supporters of the deal argue that it could lead to much-needed investments in The Telegraph, while critics worry about the potential for Zucker’s conglomerate to wield too much influence over the media landscape.
